sometimes people need to take a break for a day away from it all to regenerate. I didn't actually DO anything, except posts in this forum, and some posts to my reps in FB...and speak with a relative, who is independent to get a feel for what he thinks (yes...he wasn't emotional about it...he's an older, gruff man...but he felt that this was another Trump horrible act...he hates Trump).

This crisis after crisis is SO emotionally exhausting! The tears, the anger. Day after day. Just when you think he's done the worst, he tops it.

But putting pressure on everyone else...everyone...is absolutely necessary.

No post in some obscure forum should be let to ride. Silence is agreement. Sometimes you have to b*ch-slap conservatives into reality, since they get all their news from Fox and Limpballs & Breitbart. They really don't KNOW the truth.
